Preferencias alimenticias y actitudes hacia la lactancia y su promoción entre adolescentes del Norte de Irlanda El Norte de Irlanda tiene uno de los índices de iniciación de lactancia materna más bajos del mundo. Actitudes hacia la alimentación infantil se forman desde edades tempranas, y el alto índice de embarazo en adolescentes, ha hecho necesario hacer una encuesta de actitudes hacia la alimentación infantil y las preferencias de promoción de la lactancia materna en adolescentes en el Norte de Irlanda. Se distribuyeron cuestionarios a adolescentes de 14 a 18 años (n = 419) en 7 escuelas seleccionadas por el tipo y localización en todo el Norte de Irlanda. Actitudes sobre amamantar en público mostró que la lactancia es el método preferido de alimentación infantil y la exposición a la lactancia anteriormente fue una influencia positiva (P = .024). Las mujeres se mostraron mas positivas que los hombres en ambos tanto en la lactancia en público (P = .002) como en la promoción de la lactancia (P = .003). Recomendamos que para la promoción de la lactancia materna se incluyan a los grupos de jóvenes (ambos hombres y mujeres), y proveer mas contacto entre adolescentes y madres que amamanta.
